Regarding the open surgery of temporomandibular joint mobilization for the removal of adhesive pseudwalls assisted by arthroscopy, this summary explained the surgical approach by Al-Kayat and Bramley, anatomically important points to remember, indications and treatment results, and procedures and the importance of postoperative rehabilitation.
This introduced the diagnostic procedures and treatment algorithm for temporomandibular joint disorders (types IIIb and IV) patients with severe mouth-opening disturbance (mouth-opening distance was less than 30 mm) in the Second Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Osaka DentalUniversity. Furthermore, regarding intractable cases whose disease period was more than 6 months and adhesion lesions in the temporomandibular joint were suspected, we evaluated the clinical significance of the open surgery of temporomandibular joint mobilization for the removal of adhesive pseudwalls assisted by arthroscopy as a salvage operation.
